Silence - IF

Nothing says silence like a rusty old truck left out to pasture in the back paddock. I saw this forgotten gem on a relative’s property and fell in love with it instantly. I couldn’t wait to draw it! I initially sketched it using a 2B lead pencil then used a 5B for the darker shadows and Derwent colour pencils to capture its rusty colours and textures. It was great to get back to basics and just draw something on paper. Now I just have to do more…

So, are you back to blogging? :D I think we all go through ups and downs as time goes on. Terrific old truck you've captured with the rusty bits and rusty drum. Nicely done! I keep seeing colored pencil that looks really cool but I don't need a new medium LOL.

It's lovely - I agree, it's nice to just observe and DRAW something from life - does something for the brain and body! You've made it look really elegant and the windscreen looks great. The medium suits the subject.
